John 3:16 is always a favorite for Christians, but many times we overlook the very next verse. Today pray for Mormons, and the immense amount of pressure they put themselves under in believing they’ll never be good enough to be saved.
As if teaching you have to save yourself isn’t bad enough, notice here today what else they believe about Jesus. They’ve totally ignored what Jesus did on the cross, and made our salvation possible because He obeyed certain principles.
Remind the Mormon you know He came to save, yes, but the price He paid was His blood!

“Only Begotten Son; Only Begotten in the flesh, meaning in mortality. This designation of our Lord signifies that he was begotten by Man of Holiness as literally as any mortal father begets a son. The natural processes of procreation were involved; Jesus was begotten by his Father as literally as he was conceived by his mother.” Bruce R. McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3 vols., 1:144.
